Re: Problem composing email in Yahoo Mail

It might be best to have your own thread on this problem so that we know what you have done etc. Meanwhile what device are you using pc/mac/ipad/tablet/android/ios and what browser are you using. How intermittent is it happening? Have you tried any of the things already mentioned in other thread? I think to avoid confusion all future Q and A should be on this thread.

Re: Problem composing email in Yahoo Mail

What Windows operating system are you using? Are all the Windows updates done? Is there any reason why you have not updated to IE9? A good place to start is to delete all the browsing history and temp files on your system. You can download and use CCleaner for this. It can be found at this link. (It’s the box on the top right corner).

Re: Problem composing email in Yahoo Mail

Hi gg,

Windows 7. All windows updates are installed to the best of my knowledge. I updated to IE9 quite some time ago but did not like it so I reverted to IE8. Maybe I should take another look at it. Browsing history and temp files are deleted every other day. When the problem first reared it's head clearing the temp files and passowords etc was the first thing I kept trying. Sometimes rebooting the computer works, other times it does not.

Email this morning was working fine. I've been in and out of it several times with no problem. However, I have not composed, replied to or forwarded as many today as I do on a weekday. I'll post back if the problem recurrs.

Re: Problem composing email in Yahoo Mail

Hi gg,

I logged into email and there was no problem earlier. I've just gone back into it and although the compose button opens a new message and I can insert recipients from my address book I cannot type in the subject or the body of the email. Reply and forward are also not working. The "sign out" option is also not there.
